No idea about the background on this one but Ganja this is a really nice handle and well executed! Really love it!

Marcokeris the pattern reminds me of mideavel europe....Ireland?

Might it just be a special commision? Maybe even for a European or other foreigner.

What are the thoughts on the age of this handle? 19th century, earlier?

Regards, Erik
